Tears welled up in Alexander’s eyes, smudging the numbers glowing on his phone screen.

Once the money was transferred, the partnership was finally sealed. The deal turned out to be highly profitable, with the other party already making an advance payment of five million. Looking at the money, Alexander felt a mix of emotions.

A month later, the project was running smoothly. In the meantime, Alexander managed to land a municipal contract, offering Bennett Group a temporary lifeline.

That evening, at the celebratory dinner, just as Alexander was preparing to move ahead with renewed determination, a message from Joyce popped up on his phone. There wasn’t a single word—just an image of an opulent hotel suite.
